In ΔQRS, the measure of ∠S=90°, QR = 7.7 feet, and SQ = 6.5 feet. Find the measure of ∠R to the nearest tenth of a degree.

Sagot :

Answer:

57.6°

Step-by-step explanation:

It is always helpful to draw a picture.  Also, you need to memorize all the definitions of the trig functions.  For example,

sine of an angle = opposite side/hypotenuse

In your case, SQ is opposite side to angle R and QR is the hypotenuse

Therefore, sin R = 6.5/7.7

          m∠R =  arcsin (6.5/7.7) = 57.6°
